What are you eating?

Watch your fat & carb intake. Make a food journal maybe, to help you track your losses & gains vs. what you're eating, you may find a pattern. (Calories should obviously be at least 500 lower than your daily needs to lose) excercise & slowly increase your intensity. Your metabolism can easily adjust to lower caloric intake & hold on to fat. Boost it with regular excercise. For me excercise is key to my losses as I have no or at least very little restriction as of yet!

I'm in the same boat. I think I have good restriction (I've had two fills), but at this point I think the scale won't move again until the liquid diet accompanying the next one. That seems to be my pattern, even though I'm exercising my ass off. It was suggested to me that I might not be eating enough calories. Maybe that's worth a try? In the end though, unless you're eating more than you think you are, I think it's an old fashioned, annoying plateau :thumbup:

Well - I went on vacation and since the week before and since my work schedule and kid schedule has not allowed me to get to the gym - i am sure that is part of it..

My diet was off while on vacation but i maintained and didnt gain, when i came home i was having a hard time eating anything.. lots of pbing, couple vomiting - so unfortunatly i was resorting to soft foods - slider - mashed potatoes and stuff like that -

As of yesterday i have turned my eating around and i think im back on track - chewing chewing and slow eating is my enemy and that is what i need to think about every meal.

Todays food was -

1/2 cup special k protien plus with 1/2 cup skim milk.

mid morning was a protien shake

lunch was 2 string cheese and a yogurt ( lunch at work is very hard for me to eat i always get pbing from only having 30minutes to eat and thinking about the next thing i have to do )

dinner was

slice a moist meatloaf made with half burger half ground turkey , sliced cucumbers and 1/4cup of corn

snack just a little while ago was six crackers with hummus.

what do you all think. i know im probably not getting enough protien -

shake is 25g

yogurt is 6g

meatloaf ??

hummus 5-6 i think.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
